A DAVIS Contest.
The sim in his majesty rose in the morning,

Towering high around the dudes slim neck;
twas bit yesterday evening he paid half dollar
For two such rs that, free from tarnish or
speck.
The sim in his majesty rose in the morning,
The collar stood high In its deep set PRIDE
A few flushing rays were sent on as warning,
But the collar, neer faltering, the message
delled.
The sun reached the midst Of his journey diurnal,
And paused for a time Ter that collar new;
He melted the starch with heat quite Internal,
and soaked it with damp perspiration clear
through.
The sun III the west DER the city was beamiug,
But ere he retired meath the hills that night
He looked for the collar with white glossy
cleaning,
And grinned when he found it had sunk out OF
sight.

GRAND PRODUCTION

nj .srhe Gladiator ut the Opera House.
This Evening.
Wheeling people showed their apprecia-
ton of fine attraction, by turning out IN
large numbers to greet the McCaull Opera
Company, and they have another oppor.
tunity to-day to do the same. Mr.. Robert
Downing, who has become famous as
..snartacus, the Gladiator" in DIR. Bird's
,r;re tragedy. with his splendid company,
will produce the piece in its entirety at the
Onara House matinee this afternoon ano
evening. The house should be packed OF
10Th occasions. The New YORK borfd
says: HE nm
when Robert Downing made ms up
pearance as Spartacus in The Giadiator
at the Brooklyn Theater last night ne wa,
Given a warm welcoIns. At the close o.
the first act he was called before the
cprtain twice, at the second fall Oh The
act drop. he was brought out three hmes
and throughout the audience was un'
usually enthusiastic. Brooklyn theater
poers are ordinarily not particularly
demonstrative, but Mr.. Downing iouhG
instant favor last night, and the good
audience was not tardy in making the
fact manifest. A.
The actor is physically adapted to TN
part made famous by Forrest and McCui
Tough. He looks the character and his mt
stage presence is supplemented by pow
erlIl and admirably modulated voice,
personal magnetism and trained ability
With all these attributes it is not surpris
ing that Mr.. Downing is enabled to pre-
sent Spartacus which wins the admira
ton of onlookers. The Characterization Il
not without blemishes, but they are tai
outnumbered by the beauties. The de
fects are comparatively trifling, and TIT
portrayal, taken all in all, is worthy o.
high commendation.

which Succeeded in Making Things Lively,
Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon about 2:3O O'Clock
a heavy wind storm struck the city and
swinging signs, umbrellas, etc, were given
a pretty tough whirl. While No damage
was reported the escapes in some instances
was rather narrow. A gentleman coming
down Main street found himself suddenly
deserted by his umbrella which took an air
trip down the street, and when the wind
had finished fondling it, it wouldn't have
shed n drop Ofwater. Another gentleman
suddenly found his tent dangling from the
telegraph wires, while he was in the rain.
Quite q number OF these articles met with
the same fate.
The fancy iron work on top of the new
steeple of St Johns church on Marker
street, was seen to sway back and forth in
q very scary manner, but it withstOOd the
storm and was left but slightly out OF
plumb
The steamer Princess, while passing the
point of the Island, was blown over 10 the
east shore and grounded for u short time,
but WAS soon floating again and on heI
way. Several other slight accidents were
heard of but they amounted to nothing.

the object of the closest attention by both
teachers and principals, and that the efforts
of all deserve the hearty cooperation of
every parent in this city.

III Il FIRST " AID ~ ltOOL
Greatly Injured by the Report Of the Build
ing's Unsafe Condition.
A REGISTER reporter yesterday called on
Miss Harper, Principal of the First ward
public school and asked for her opinion
concerning the alleged dangerous condition
of the school building. In answer to an
interrogatory she replied that rs far ~ she
is herself concerned she does not feel
afraid to he in the building, and
that the reports in regard to the floor being
rickety and shaking when walked upon are
greatly exaggerated; and thataS far as dan
ger from fire is concerned, that building is
no more liable to take fire than any other
school in the city. And she added that
regarding the means of egreSs, it is better
arranged than other school buildings in the
city.
When asked how many children had left
school since the scare she stated that there
were some 500 scholars enrolled, and that
about one-titth of them had not been pres
ent the past day or so; that when they came
TO her with the word that their parents
we're afraid to allow them to attend, she
would not take the responsibility OF aSsur-
ing them of the safety of the building, al
though it has injured the school TO very
great extent.
Mr.IHorrcl, one of the local commission
erS. stated that he had made rather
minute examination of the building with
other gentlemen and had come to the con-
clusiOn that he would not assume the re-
spOnSibility of saying that it is in safe
condition; that it might stand for only
six months, and again, probably, for ten
years. He says he has called on the Pres
ident of the Board of Education for n
meeting of the Committee on Buildings
and Grounds TO secure the services of eX-
perts and make thorough examination.
This will likely be done in the next few
days, when the condition Of the editice
will he made known.
